A storyboard is a collection of scenes which is set in either a cinema or animation.

A storyboard is important because it shows a sequence of events in which it helps separate certain moments. 

The storyboard above is showing a documentary. The documentary is based on a natural disaster that happened. The documentary also shows the channel, that the documentary is on. This tells the audience that the documentary is on that channel, at that specific time, but it also promotes the channel, by telling the viewer that on this specific channel, there is more documentaries, like the one that was just advertised. 

The storyboard above shows a film storyboard. The storyboard shows the main protagonist, Harry Potter, in almost every image, which reveals what the film is based upon. 

The above storyboard, shows a documentary on poverty. We can tell that it is about poverty because, some of the scenes show children and families living in poverty. It also shows the audience the house where they live and what the living conditions are like in the country, where the documentary is taking place in. 

The storyboard above is about a music video. The audience can tell the genre of the music video by the drawings. The storyboard also shows two people who are now living different lives.  

The above storyboard, is an animated storyboard. The main character is in every image of the storyboard, telling us that they are the main character, throughout the storyboard, the character is shown to be human like, which is being shown, by him waking up, they then go to the bathroom and brush their teeth. Doing these activities, are something that the majority of humans do on a day to day basis. 

The storyboard above is of a game level. Each image shows the level getting more and more difficult, it also shows the character, a stickman at different stages of the the games levels. The colours of the games levels, show the audience that the game is PG, and the only violence is when the character (Player) die. 

The idea is to have a camera above a whiteboard, someone will write on the board "What is a Storyboard"? It will then be rubbed of the board before the person will start to write. After a couple of seconds for the audience to read it, the writing will be then rubbed off before the next step will be written. The steps should be easy to understand and detailed for the audience. 

There will be drawings in a storyboard format to show the audience what a storyboard looks like.

On the whiteboard there will be a storyboard which at each step will be a new drawing, during the editing phase we will add text over white board. Are idea will be put into steps to make it easier for the audience to understand.

A storyboard is normally used in pre production, where a company will make a storyboard about there product, after this it is on to the main production process, where it will either be produced through the storyboard or not if there are any changes between the two processes.

Because this storyboard is a games storyboard each drawing has its own level design. The first, second to last and last drawings all have lines which suggest that there is text in these levels. 

Because this is a film storyboard there are loads of storyboard drawing scenes. The size of the storyboard shows that it could be a long film.  

The storyboard here is for a TV drama. Because TV dramas are not as long as films, the storyboard will be smaller to show this. 

The image above is for a music storyboard. Because music videos are usually two-three minutes, the storyboard will show the time, by the size of the storyboard. Each of the drawings each represent a verse in the video.
